Think about what the craft is doing. It isn't just sitting out staring at one location. It orbits the Sun but doesn't want to ever see the sun. I bet if we wanted to get extra clever we could do flip maneuvers to preserve fuel, but if JWST hasn't met its goals in 20 years then messing about with time wasting tricks won't help it.
